The best place I ever found for exotic scales (god do i love them) is http://www.freakguitar.com check out the Hirajoshi and gypsy scales... those two are my faves.

Hey PonyOne thanks man...I checked that site out.
It rocks...I`d never heard of it before...but I know I`ll use it a lot...its got some awesome stuff on it.
Thanks

That is probably one of the best sites for guitar out there, IMHO.

There need to be more pages like that... everything's there in a pretty easy to read format. If anyone reads this who's starting to get into soloing and just wants to know where to pick up some ideas, that is a great site.

is the melodic minor or the phyrgian scale..do they have that exotic sound???
about freak guitar they only give one postition and im about as dumb as rock when it comes t music theory so i dont have a clue on how to move the postions up and down the neck..any help?

The Phrygian and Locrian have particularly exotic sounds, although as you advance as a guitarist, you'll realize that you can make any scale sound exotic, it's just the notes that you are playing. This is the idea of "modes"; there are tons of pages regarding modes on this website, it'd be worthless to explain it again, etc.

The way i play exotic types of sounds now...I add chromatics. Usually, if i'm playing in a major key, i'll add the bIII from the parallel minor, and flat the major seventh...then I add some chromatics every once in a while; Nothing is concrete, though; most scales are. That's the trick, is never be concrete in your playing. Just because the D note isn't in the E major scale doesn't mean you can't play it. Play it! it's called E dorian, if you follow the guidelines of D Major, inverted.

Always change! play the 3rds, 5ths, unisons, etc, there are no rules, and basically what i mean is that eventually you'll find yourself playing out of feeling, and not out of scales.

Sorry for the rant, i haven't done that in a while. :D
